Mr. Grant is accompanied. by Don Sutherland, Smithers, district agricul- turist, and he was:introduced to the mecting first by President Floyd Frank My. Sutherland apologised for not hav- ‘ing spent more time in the Terrace sec tion, but’ explained that when ‘he came north he found it was unwise.to try to stnulate production until: freight rntes bad heen adjusted, and. some measure af orderly murketing started. He had worked with the associated hoards of trade in these matters and hid been suecessful in getting from the CNR. ao material reduction in L.C.L. rates ta Prince Rupert. In addition f-bagwage enr service would be avail- able on’ mixed trains starting July 1, and the new rates would be effective on this ear.

Gov ernment assintance had ‘been se- curred in the matter of seed grain for those farmers who were unabe to mak? their uirchrses through regular chan- nels. A Hit of one ton to each farm- er Wats set, ind when npplications were approved the grain would be delivered at Terraee, but would have to be pait for in November.

He complimented Mus. J. 6. MeCon- nell on her faithfulness in carrying on ‘the Boys and Ginls’Cinb work'and: said: he had recetyed word from ©:N.R. Col-

:fonization Agent A. Bowman that the

Jersey Breeders Associntion were pre prepared to donate six or eight young Jersey helfers for a- calt, elub to be started this year.

‘Speaking briefly on marketing, Mr, Sutherland told of the visit. of Com nissioner J, W. Alder of Prince Ru pert to the interior lust fell and which resulted in Thos. McMeekin being ap pointed as agent in Prince Rupert for local produce. He pointed out that it was very evident that the people of tha bath willing and anxious to consume canst who consumed a million dolars a vent worth of farm produce were northern interior produce. _

A basic principal must be that price setting” must he linked up with the vol ume of produce frown,’ Where too much is grown that the available mar kets cannot whsorb it. the contral board must be nble.to pool, the whole crop. and. in the event of part of the evap heing held back, perhaps destroyed, all, would be paid pro rata out of the re turns on what enuld be sold..
